Li Yu subconsciously thought of the masked kidney-cutting man at the waist, and his heart tightened. On the surface, he was stunned and shook his head: "That's not true. Uncle Qu, did something happen?"
"nothing."
Lao Qutou shook his head subconsciously, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Forget it, there is actually nothing to hide. Anyway, you will know about this sooner or later, so I will tell you."
"During this period, a Wu Zangke appeared in Baisha Town next door and went around killing people. This man was very skilled in martial arts and had killed six or seven people. Even people in our Qingshui Town suffered. And what these dead people have in common is the chest and abdomen.
They were all cut open, and some of the five internal organs—the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—were removed, so they were called the five-viscera guest by the evildoers. This incident caused panic and fear among people throughout Zhoushui County."
"And the people killed by these five zombies are basically young teenagers or young children. You'd better be careful."
Li Yu felt a chill in his heart when he heard that his five internal organs were being dug out, and he immediately confirmed that this five internal organs guest was the masked man who killed his predecessor and took away his waist!
"Uncle Qu, why is this man doing this? Is he crazy?" Li Yu asked doubtfully.
Seeing the change in Li Yu's face, Lao Qutou was not surprised. When he heard about this incident at first, he was also shocked.
He frowned and sighed: "I heard that this person is an evil demon. He harvests the five internal organs to either practice evil methods or to refine elixirs to improve his cultivation."
Evil monster?!
Li Yu's mouth twitched, he didn't expect that he would get into such a big trouble unintentionally.
If the Five Zang Guests knew that he was not dead, they would definitely come to explore the reason. Wouldn't he be in trouble then?
Thinking of this, Li Yu's sense of crisis became even stronger.
"It seems that we must go to the back mountain of Guojiacun as soon as possible. It is best to get a martial arts secret book from the red scarf bandit, or some life-saving means. Otherwise, it will be dangerous if trouble comes to your door!
"
Li Yu's sense of urgency intensified and he secretly made up his mind.
He looked at Lao Qutou again intentionally or unintentionally.
As far as he knew, this old Qutou was proficient in martial arts. Even though he was old, he could easily handle one or two strong men. Otherwise, he would not have been a policeman for more than 20 years.
However, I am afraid that this old Qutou's martial arts skills are not too high, otherwise he would not have been a policeman for more than 20 years and still not be promoted.
On the contrary, it was the big man who was a red scarf thief in Ergou's memory. Although he was seriously injured, Li Yu was deeply impressed by his powerful and majestic temperament. He seemed to be obviously better in martial arts than Lao Qutou.
many.
The true Dharma is hard to find and should not be taught lightly.
In this kind of world, a martial arts is a skill that can be used to make a living. It is not difficult to learn a few moves to fill your stomach.
If you eat it thoroughly, it is not impossible to turn over and change your own destiny.
If he wanted to exploit Lao Qutou's martial arts skills, let alone the fact that he already had an apprentice. Even if he didn't, Lao Qutou would not agree.
Late at night, Li Yu added some firewood to the brazier, then excused himself from being sleepy and went back to his room to rest.
Early the next morning, the weather cleared up and the brazier was still warm. Master and apprentice Lao Qutou had already left.
After Li Yu opened the door, he saw that the outside was covered in silver. Looking around, it was all silvery white.
It snowed heavily last night, but now it has stopped.
A cold wind blew in, mixed with fine snowflakes, and stained Li Yu's hair. The cold air seemed to penetrate into the seams of people's bones.
Li Yu originally wanted to look for traces of the red scarf thief today, but now it's snowing outside, and the mountain road is too slippery. The heavy snow will inevitably cover up the traces or bones of the big man.
So he didn't set off in a hurry, but waited patiently for a few days. After the snow melted a little, he put fire dumplings, dried meat, dry food, water bags, etc. in his arms, and took a hatchet, and then he set out.
Door.
It's freezing cold and there's heavy snow closing the mountain. It's unlikely that anyone will go up the mountain in the next few days.
According to Ergou's memory, Li Yu spent more than an hour bypassing Guojia Village and arrived at the back mountain.
I searched the mountain several times, focusing on the places where the big man might have passed. Unfortunately, there was no result. On the contrary, Li Yu was panting from exhaustion, sweating all over, sticky and uncomfortable.
, the physical strength is still severely exhausted.
"No, that big man was seriously injured and was poisoned. He will never run far away. He will probably find a place to hide and rest. In this case, is it possible?"
After resting for a while, Li Yu was about to go further to search, when something happened in his mind and he came to another slope of the mountain.
Here, the woods are dense and there are several natural caves, which are the shady side of the mountain.
But on weekdays, there is no sunshine all year round and it is densely covered with thorns, so few people come here.
After searching for more than an hour, until the afternoon, Li Yu finally found a corpse in a cave.
The flesh and blood of this corpse had rotted away, with broad and strong bones exposed in many places, but there was a layer of darkness, obviously due to poisoning during his lifetime. There was also a long knife placed next to his right hand.
There was also a dark red ribbon tied around the corpse's wrist.
Obviously, the corpse in front of him is the big man Ergou saw!
Li Yu did not rush forward, but checked around for a while. Seeing that there were no traps, he found a wooden stick to test the corpse to make sure that there were no hidden arrows, hidden weapons or other ambushes on the corpse.
Then he took out a pair of cowhide gloves and put them on his hands, and began to search the corpse carefully.
As a corpse keeper in Yizhuang, we often encounter all kinds of corpses.
For corpse keepers, mummified corpses, hard corpses, and bones are all novelties.
What is scary are those drowned corpses whose stomachs swelled and exploded due to being soaked in the river for too long; or corpses whose flesh and blood have rotted, with dense live maggots crawling in the flesh and corpse water flowing; or corpses encountered on the mountains.
Wild beasts, broken stomachs, mutilated corpses, and unrecognizable corpses.
Those scenes are disgusting and terrifying, and can scare people to the point of peeing. Words are simply indescribable, and most people simply cannot bear it.
Even taking a look might give you nightmares!
Therefore, in some burial processes, a pair of leather gloves is indispensable!
After a cup of tea, a bunch of things appeared in front of Li Yu.
A long sheathed knife with a black fish skin sheath, a tough style with a bit of beauty.
A secret book with a yellowish cover and made of some kind of tanned animal leather, with the words "Zanpakutōjutsu" written on it, and an iron-painted silver hook, giving it a sharp edge.
There is also a small porcelain vase with small characters written on it, including Ye's gold sore medicine, and two 5-tael silver ingots, which are shining brightly. Together with some other scattered silver taels and copper plates, there are as many as sixteen taels in total.
